Thanks for posting the pics Andrew. Those are almond petals on the ground it was about 80 degrees when that pic was taken.
The bees did very well in the almonds this year but it is over now and time to move on.

We didn't catch it. Didn't try. It probably was more than one swarm. You would have needed several deeps to put it in and when we got to that side of the orchard we were out of boxes.
It is now part of the feral bee population in central California.
